Health Benefits of Ginseng: One Ingredient that can Change your Life

Photo By The Chosun Bimbo

Originally discovered in China, Ginseng is a plant that has been used for its medicinal value for centuries. The natural ingredient supplies a vast array of mental and physical benefits with no concerns in terms of the side effects that can come for chemically based products or over the counter pharmaceuticals.  When it comes to sexual disorders, aging, stress and anxiety, Ginseng helps cure all. It offers you unique healing powers, is a great rejuvenator, and can revitalize your entire body over the matter of just a few days.

Ginseng can be found within tea and inside revitalizing capsules or it can even be used entirely on its own or grated into milkshakes. There are two main types of Ginseng, North American and Asian. Both are defined by different properties, while the former can provide cooling benefits and help a great deal in reducing fever and respiratory disorders, the latter is magical in improving the circulatory system through its heating properties.
The Ginseng plant is world famous for revitalizing one’s body by combating stress in any form, physical or mental, and thus barring consequential fatigue. Not only that, but as mentioned earlier this is a “cure all” plant and it even fights diabetes and also erectile dysfunction. These are not only a tradition based facts but have been proven through scientific experiments and surveys.

The standard dosage of this herb is approximately 200mg a day. It is also suggested that you take a break for approximately one week after continually using the dosage for eighteen to twenty days. More great news when it comes to ginseng is the fact that this medicinal herb can do wonders in terms of anti aging, and if used correctly, and for a relatively longer period, it can also result into glowing and youthful skin.

This does not mean that ginseng is for everybody as pregnant women and anyone who is dealing with a heart disorder should refrain from using it. Even people with hormonal imbalances are advised not to seek out the use of ginseng. It may cause sleeplessness and a few other side effects such as nervous breakdowns, headaches, and agitation.

So the basic fact is that while Ginseng does have great medicinal value, anything taken in excess can be bad and the same thing goes for Ginseng. It can truly work wonders for you if used under the proper guidelines and if used under strict guidance it can be used to fight poor health, hangovers, menopause, help you recover from mild illnesses and improve mental alertness and even your athletic performance.
Given all of the benefits of Ginseng and its incredible power, it is no exaggeration when people refer to it as the magical ingredient for good health.

What is Ayurveda Treatment and How Can Ayurveda Medicine Benefit Me?

Photo By YimHafiz

Ayurveda is the basis of Hindu medicinal care and incorporates a number of intriguing principles, remedies, and benefits. Instead of proving instant, almost fake results, the method itself is based around healing and the treating of diseases and illness at the very root of the problem.

In Ayurveda the body is treated as a system that responds and reacts to every change and every action. One single part that is out of place could lead to a disruption throughout the entire body. Thus, the basis of Ayurveda treatment is to cure the entire body on the whole and not just focus on one or two areas of concern.

How exactly does this differ from “normal” and popular medical treatment?

Allopathic treatment focuses around instant relief. This means that patients will in fact feel the relief that they desire, but that the source of the problem is never actually treated. Over time the injury or illness will often reoccur and can in fact fester within the body and become more dangerous than it was in the first place.

Dangers of Pharmaceuticals

Another risk with allopathic treatment comes in terms of the chemicals and substances that are used to provide the healing effect. There is always danger present in terms of the quantity and quality of pharmaceutical drugs that are used to cover up pain and prevent suffering.

100% Side Effect Free

On the other side of the coin, Ayurvedic treatment focuses solely on herbal techniques and natural supplements that are guaranteed to be completely free from harmful side effects. The principle is that antidotes are useless and that antigens often suppress the body’s ability to heal itself.

The medication used throughout Ayurvedic treatment aims to attack the source of the problem and provide benefits that will last for the rest of our lives, and not just as a short term band-aid.

An interesting way to look at pharmaceuticals and allopathic treatment is this.

Consider what would happen if you suddenly began eating 3 apples a day instead of just one. It is highly doubtful that any problems would arise, right? In fact you may even be provided with a number of benefits.

Well what would happen if you suddenly started taking 4 sleeping pills, or 6 ibuprofen, instead of 2? Chances are your body is going to react and it could turn dangerous fast.

Do you really want to be relying on ingesting something that could wreak havoc on your body if the wrong dosage is taken? Wouldn’t you rather rely on something natural that cannot have a negative effect on your health, no matter how much you ingest?

The Basis of Ayurveda Medicine

Ayurveda medicine and supplements are often derived directly from vegetables, fruits and wild plants such as Jadi-booties. Each plant and species of fruit and vegetable consists of some sort of inherent healthy property which can be used for an extensive amount of time without any danger.

In a way, Ayurveda works by simply giving the body what it craves, and nothing more.

This is not some new age form of treatment. It does not involve home mixtures stirred up without any previous research, and it needs to be seen as a viable method of healing and treating our bodies.

Ayurveda treatment is a part of one of the oldest cultures in the world and has been extensively tested and proven to provide benefits to people all over the world. Acceptance of Ayurveda within the western world is growing every day as people are realizing that it can efficiently combat the problems and stress that arise from their normal lives.

In essence, Ayurveda along with daily exercise and even yoga is now becoming the key to a healthy body, a healthy mind and a healthy soul. Open your mind to a positive change in your health. Over the counter “remedies” are not the only method of treatment available, and they are very rarely the best.

Easy Acupressure Tips for Relieving a Hangover

Photo By Kevin Briody

“I am never drinking again”. How many times have you uttered those words while heading into work after a night out on the town? It is a wise thought, but an idea that is often impossible to stick to. There is nothing worse than having your boss chew you out for a mistake while your head is pounding and your stomach is gurgling. 

When you’ve partied a little too heartily, only time will completely clear your head and settle your stomach. That isn’t something you necessarily want to hear, but there is some good news. There are actually a few simple detox techniques can speed the process along and have you walking with a little extra kick in your step in no time.  It will be a lot better than dragging through a 9 hour work day with a pounding headache, trust me.

Hangover Relief Through Acupressure Tip #1

 To help relieve nausea and headaches, press your thumbs into the muscles and acupressure points along your skull and neck. Start by placing your thumbs at the base of your skull, one on each side of the upper spine. Press in for two breaths, release, and move outwards. Repeat until you’re 3 cm or so away from your ears. Return to the upper spine and press on each side again, inching your thumbs down your neck until you reach the top of the shoulders.

Hangover Relief Through Acupressure Tip #2

 Lend your detoxification filters a hand by gently pummeling your kidneys, helping to break up toxic crystal deposits. Leaning over slightly, reach behind yourself and gently pound behind your ribs, about 12 times on each side, using comfortable pressure.

 Hangover Relief Through Acupressure Tip #3

The acupressure point known as Spleen 16 is a classic target for relief from hangover symptoms. Using the fingertips of one hand, find the bottom of your rib cage and move your hand directly in line with your nipple. Feel for a slight indentation in the bone, and then press gently upwards into the ribs. Hold the point for a count of ten seconds. Repeat on the other side.

 An Extra Tip for Hangover Relief

Drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body, adding a little lemon juice also helps the detoxification effect. Resuscitate yourself with a cool compress on which you’ve sprinkled three drops of lavender, peppermint or rosemary essential oil. If you’re nauseous, use rose or sandalwood oil instead. Take a vitamin B supplement before your binge as this will help you feel better the next morning.

Now these tips aren’t necesarily going to have you jumping around and screaming with joy, but they are going to ease the pain of a nasty hangover. This doesn’t mean that non stop tequila shots on a wednesday night are a good idea, but at least you won’t consider jumping out the window of your office before noon.

Play Doctor at Home and Save Time and Money: 6 Ailments, Issues, and Medical Problems you can Treat on your Own at Home

There are many problems and medical conditions that we must rely on doctors and proper medication to treat. However, the fact is that we often overreact to rather common problems. We end up seeking out someone with a medical degree when we can in fact treat our problem right in the comfort of our home.

Here are 6 common ailments and conditions that you don’t need to be an expert to figure out and treat. So jot down these notes and the next time you are feeling under the weather play doctor on yourself. It can save time, money, and even embarrassment.

How to Treat Muscle Aches at Home

If you are dealing with irritating muscle aches then do your best to apply ice within the first 24 hours of feeling the pain. After the first 24 hours you can seek out relief through a heating pad or even a hot bath. If the pain continues then try throwing back an anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen around every 6 hours. Keep your health card in your wallet and treat yourself and the pain should subside within a day or two. There is no need to spend hours in emerg or trot into the walk-in clinic unless the pain continues for more than a few days.

How to Treat a Sunburn at Home

With a sunburn your best friend may also be an anti-inflammatory painkiller. An anti-inflammatory can soothe that feeling of tenderness and then you can opt to use an aloe moisturizer or cortisone cream along with cold compresses. Whatever you do avoid picking or peeling the skin. When your skin starts to peel that is your body’s natural way of healing a sunburn, so you are better off to leave it and let your body do its thing.

How to Treat Diarrhea at Home

The key to fighting diarrhea is fluids.  Drink plenty of water whenever you can to replace the fluids you are losing and stick to bland food such as toast and rice for a day or two. There are a number of anti-diarrhea meds you can find over the counter as well, or even make some remedies at home from fruits such as figs. If your diarrhea continues and does not stop within a few days then it is time to seek out a doctor’s advice.

How to Treat a Bad Cut at Home

A deep cut should always be treated at a hospital when you can, but a bad cut can often be treated at home. You can stop the bleeding through firm pressure applied with a cloth and then flush the wound with cold water. Do not use soap as it will irritate the wound and after be sure to dry the wound thoroughly. Once the wound is clean you can apply an antibiotic cream and then cover it with a bandage and you are good to go about your day.

How to Treat a Fever at Home

Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can go a long way to bringing down your fever. You should also chug back as much fluid as you can throughout the day in order to hydrate your immune system. If your temperature continues to rise and escalates over 101 then it is probably time to crawl your way to an MD.

How to Treat a Yeast Infection on your Own

The hardest part for many women when it comes to treating a yeast infection is identifying that they have one. If you notice your vulva itching or burning, and there tends to be a clumpy discharge, then you have a yeast infection. Head over to the pharmacy and pick up an anti-yeast treatment. That will probably clear the problem within just a few days but if it doesn’t you should book an appointment with your gyno.

5 Simple and Easy Tips and Suggestions for Improving Sleep and Getting Rid of Insomnia

Love Life with Better Sleep

Sleep Better so you can Shine Brighter

It seems that sleeping problems and insomnia are more common than ever. Stress from your job, finance troubles, a fight with your partner, or even just a good movie on TV can keep you up for hours leaving you struggling to make it through the next day. What we have learnt over the years is that sleeping is all about timing. In order to get the right amount of proper sleep you have to train your body and your mind so that it knows when it is time to sleep and when it is time to be alert. We already know that it isn’t as simple as it sounds, but here are 5 tips for better sleep so that you can feel more alert and have more energy all day long.

Improve Sleep Tip #1- Get into a Sleep Routine

Often times a truly good night’s sleep all relies on your morning wake up routine. The moment that your eyes flicker open and sun or light begins to creep in your body starts producing the hormones that will effect how you go throughout the day. Essentially the light starts to activate your brain and get everything going in your body. By getting into a routine and ensuring that you wake up everyday at the same time your body will be trained to start preparing you for the day at the right time. Your body and brain will know that it should be shutting down at midnight and be in full force midday, instead of the other way around.

If your schedule jumps all over the place and you wake up at 6am one day and 12pm the next, your body will have a hard time deciphering when it should be pumping out the proper hormones. You can easily end up feeling laggy and groggy for hours and never give yourself the opportunity to get into a groove, whether you are at work or just getting things done around the house.

Improve Sleep Tip #2- Crawl into Bed only when you’re Tired

A big reason that people spend so long laying in bed is that they force themselves to sleep even when they are not tired. If you are feeling energetic then you need to do something to rid yourself of that energy and cause that sleepy feeling to set in. If you are all energized and force yourself to lie in bed you may end up watching TV for hours or having thoughts run rampant in your head. Wait until you are settled, get into a routine, and shut off the lights when you start to feel your eyes get heavy, not long before.

 
Improve Sleep Tip #3- Make yourself Get Up

While you may find that you spend a solid 8 or 9 hours in bed, it doesn’t always mean that you are getting 8 hours of sleep. Going to bed at 11pm and making yourself stay there while you toss and turn can cause a big mismatch in sleeping time and confuse your body. If you find yourself wide awake at 3am after a few hours of sleep get up and do something. Walk out to the living room and read a book. Actually being awake and out of bed can increase your desire to sleep and allow you to fall back to sleep easier when you crawl back between the sheets.

Laying in bed and while you are awake can force your brain to associate being awake to being in bed, instead of the other way around. That kind of misbalance can eventually lead to that engine revving train of thought that makes falling asleep a constant struggle every night. If you get that feeling you can get rid of it, and take heed in the fact that you are not alone as that anxiety is one of the main causes of insomnia.

Improve Sleep Tip #4- Take the Time to Unwind

The hour right before you call it a night, and what you do with that time, is very important. To avoid insomnia it is very important to use that time wisely and that simple hour can make all the difference between lying awake for hours and dozing off into a revitalizing sleep. Sadly most people these days are too busy and neglect that important “me” time before bed. If you do not give yourself a single second to clear your thoughts and relax before bed all that stress will haunt you in the bed room. Sit back, enjoy a hot cup of tea and snuggle up with a good book. You may feel like you are too busy to just sit back and relax, but spending an hour winding down is a lot more productive than tossing and turning in bed all night.

Avoid a Midday Collapse with a Sleep Routine

Improve Sleep Tip #5- Awake the Weekend Sleep Problems

Spending all hours of the night partying or doing work on the weekend and then sleeping long into the day on Saturday and Sunday may seem like a great treat, but is throwing your body completely off balance. Even though you deserve to reward yourself after a hard week’s worth of work try to stay on schedule. Otherwise you will not be prepared to sleep on Sunday night and will get stuck with a killer case of the Moody Mondays.

Nighttime does not have to be something that you dread; it should be something that you savor. Take advantage of these tips for improving sleep and stop counting sheep or staring at the ceiling for hours every night. Get into a routine, use the time before bed to wind down and do not force yourself into bed. Before you know it you will be sleeping deeper, feeling better, and wondering what all the fuss over missed sleep was all about. Just don’t be too cheery on Monday morning or your coworkers might get a little jealous.

Top 5 Summer Fruits for Natural Health and Beauty: Look and Feel Sexier with Tantalizing Summer Fruits

Summer Fruits are the Key to Health, Beauty, and Feeling Sexier

Look and Feel Sexy with Summer Fruit

You already know that fruit is a great way to stay healthy, and there is no better time to whip up some tantalizing fruity meals than summer. What you might not already know is that fruits can also provide some impressive beauty benefits. Brightly colored fruits contain high levels of important nutrients and can improve your complexion, undo damage caused by the sun, and protect your hair. This isn’t all about eating either; you can actual get some natural beauty benefits by using fruits externally on different parts of your body. Here is a look at the top 5 fruits that can improve your health and your appearance in an all natural way. On top of that, if you can’t find the time to create the recipes yourself, you can always opt for the store bought substitutes offered below.

Get Firmer Skin with Strawberries and Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a very essential part of your body’s production of collagen. (Collagen is the base for supporting your skin structure) The problem is that vitamin C is not produced by your body on its own, so you often need to give it a little added boost. This is why it is so important to pack as much vitamin C into your diet as possible.

Top Summer Fruit #1-Strawberries

Strawberries are a great source of vitamin C and a wonderful fruit to snack on in the summer. Make a berry smoothie with a cup of strawberries or just pop a few into your mouth whenever you get peckish. Try to avoid slicing them as oxygen can break down the vitamin C within the berries.

Strawberry Beauty Remedy

A vitamin C treatment can not only tighten up your skin’s pores but it can also decrease the appearance of sun spots. Blend a cup of strawberries with the juice from 1 lemon and a ½ cup of plain yogurt. Chill the mixture in the fridge for half an hour and then apply it to your neck and face. Lay back, relax with a good book, and let it sit for another 30 minutes. Once you rinse it off be sure to apply some SPF because vitamin C can make you more susceptible to the effects of UV rays.

Store Bought Option

If you don’t want to whip up this natural remedy then you should look for a vitamin C night serum. A good choice is Avon Anew Clearly C Serum, which usually costs around $20.

Improve your Complexion with Vitamin E and Blueberries

Vitamin E has an unrivalled ability to moisturize and hydrate your skin. You may think that the summer heat is causing enough moisture on your face already. Truth is, sweat can actual dry up your skin and cause it to get flaky without the use of a proper moisturizer.

Top Summer Fruit #2- Blueberries

Blueberries are known for being packed with antioxidants, and some pretty effective moisturizing vitamin E. Try to sprinkle a few in your cereal or yogurt in the morning or mix some up with grilled chicken for dinner. Better yet, make up a mixture of blueberries, chicken and almonds, which are also a potent source of vitamin E.

Blueberry Beauty Remedy

You can create a blueberry mask and use it once a week to seal in moisture and keep your skin moisturized in even the driest weather. Puree a ½ cup of blueberries and add a handful of sliced almonds, lemon juice from 1 lemon, a tablespoon of honey, and a tablespoon of plain yogurt. Puree it all together until it is thick and smooth and chill it in the fridge for about half an hour. Once the mixture is chilled, spread it evenly on your face and leave it for 20 minutes. Be sure to do a test on your arm first to ensure that your skin is not allergic to any of the ingredients.

Store Bought Option

If you don’t have a blender nearby or just don’t feel up for mixing anything together, you can invest in Rouleau’s Triple Berry Peel. Use this peel once a month and enjoy the effects of the real blueberries that are packed in.

Strengthen Hair and Nails with Fatty Acids

Dieting has taught us all to think fat is the enemy, but this isn’t always the case. Essentially fatty acids provide a number of benefits and can help produce healthy oils within your body. These oils can prevent your nails from getting brittle, moisturize skin, and cut down on the clogging of hair follicles. As an added bonus these oils can also stimulate hair and nail growth.

Top Summer Fruit #3- Avocados

Just a half of an avocado can bring a number of health and beauty benefits to the body. Whip up some guacamole and get snacking, but choose whole wheat pita or crackers instead of dipping chips and chowing down. Or simply dice up an avocado and add it to the top of a summer salad.

Avocado Beauty Remedy

Pump up your hair by utilizing this beauty enhancing remedy once a week. Mix together 1 avocado, ½ teaspoon of olive oil, and one egg yolk. Scrub the mixture into your hair, after you dampen it, and leave it on for a half an hour. Wash it out with shampoo and you will notice some added luster instantly. If you want to give your nails a boost then combine a half an avocado, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1 egg white, and 2 tablespoons of oatmeal. Rub it evenly on your nails and cuticles, put on a good TV show, and sit back for 20 minutes. Rinse it off and get ready for longer, stronger nails.

Store Bought Option

If working in the kitchen isn’t your idea of a good time then you can always take advantage of the benefits offered by Burt’s Bees Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Treatment. The name is actually longer than the time you will have to spend using it, and the best part is that it generally comes in at under $9.

Tomatoes and Lycopene Mean Fewer Breakouts

Lycopene is becoming known as one of the best nutrients to fend off pimples and keep your skin smooth and clear. It can reduce inflammation, which is a main cause of clogged pores. Eating more tomatoes can actually help provide the same benefits that expensive over the counter acne treatments promise to bring about.

Top Summer Fruit #4- Tomatoes

Chow down on a large tomato and your skin will love the benefits immediately. Chop one up in a salad, whip up some bruschetta, or mix up some delicious pasta sauce. However you go about it, delicious tomatoes are the best way to add lycopene to your diet. If you cook the tomatoes there is actually a much better chance the lycopene will be made available to your body.

Tomato Beauty Remedy

Take the time out of your week to whip up a tomato mask. It is easier than the other remedies as you do not need any added ingredients. Thinly slice up a tomato and evenly place the slices all over your face. Lay back and leave them on for 15 minutes. After you remove them slice up another tomato in half and rub it in small circles all over your skin. When you are done, rinse your face with warm water and love the fact that the lycopene has cut down on bacteria and opened up your pores.

Store Bought Option

Even though this remedy is easy, rubbing raw tomatoes on your face may not be your idea of fun. If not, consider investing in Yes to Tomatoes Total Treatment Facial Mask which usually comes in at under $15.

Smoother, Lighter Skin with Vitamin A and Peaches

Vitamin A is known for boosting the production of cells in your body and getting rid of dead skin. It can smoothen out your skin and make you feel a lot suppler. It can also help to reverse some of the damage caused by the sun over an extended period of time.

Top Summer Fruit #5- Peaches

Search out peaches at the grocery stores with a deep orange color. These are the ones that contain the most vitamin A. Dice them up and toss them into a fruit salad or sprinkle them with lemon and garnish a piece of grilled chicken or fish.

Peach Beauty Remedy

Create a weekly body scrub to help rid yourself of dead, built-up skin and revitalize your body. Blend two peaches, after removing the pits, and then mix them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a few spoonfuls of brown sugar, however much it takes to make the mixture thick. Rub the natural lotion all over your body and leave it on for just a few minutes. Rinse off in the shower with warm water and then jump in front of the mirror to notice some instantly smoother skin.

Store Bought Option

If you are worried about the stickiness of the brown sugar then head to the local drugstore or supermarket and look for Caress Daily Silky Body Wash, which will usually only leave your purse about $7 lighter.

Natural, Healthy Living with Fruit

Admittedly there are a lot of quality natural products on the market, and you may decide to use them in an effort to save time, but it is nice to know that fruit can offer so many advantages. Mix these fruits into your diet or just have a little fun by creating your own beneficial beauty products. Sure it may be easier to buy the store bought options, but where is the fun in that? Just imagine the look on your friend’s face when you tell them your skin is clearer thanks to a simple tomato rub, or that your hair has added luster thanks to a few avocados. That will make the effort in the kitchen more than worth it in the long run.

Here are the answers to the questions about your period that you need to know, but were too afraid to ask.

Is it Normal for My Libido to go up during My Period?

This is a question that is commonly asked and one that people seem to avoid answering. The simple answer is that it is absolutely normal for sexual urges to increase during menstruation. Increased blood flow throughout your body can cause stimulation and heighten your arousal overall. There is no need to be concerned if your libido goes up. Just take it in stride and deal with it in whatever manner you deem necessary.

Why do I Tend to get Diarrhoea at the Start of my Period?

The very same chemicals that trigger the contractions that happen in your uterus during your period tend to cause contractions in your intestines as well. So don’t be worried if you get diarrhoea, and do not overreact as it is a normal side effect. However this doesn’t mean that you have to deal with it. Taking anti-inflammatory painkillers can not only cut down on pain from cramps but also decrease the chances that you will have to deal with diarrhoea.

Why is My Flow Darker at the End of My Cycle?

This is a matter that concerns a lot of women, but again completely normal. This happens because your body is dispelling blood that has been present in your cervix for an extended period of time. It has been exposed to oxygen over time and thus undergoes a change in color.

That certain time of the month can get a little weird at times, but it doesn’t have to be as tough as you think. Many problems that concern you and cause you to worry are in fact normal and a natural part of the process. The best news is that there are answers to your questions and we are going to help you find them. If you have any burning questions drop us a note and we will help find your answer, hassle free and without judgement. And for now here is an added bonus.

How Can I Deal With PMS Symptoms?

While this won’t be the answer to all your PMS problems, it may be a big help. Recent studies have shown that consuming soy foods and soy products can help you cope with certain annoying symptoms. Before your period comes, or when you are feeling especially irritable, try enjoying foods such as tofu and edamame. Researchers aren’t sure why it helps, but it can’t hurt to try right?

Any other questions? Let us know, we are here for you.

Coffee Could Be the Key for Reversing Memory Loss and Preventing Alzheimer’s

Are you an avid coffee drinker that just cannot seem to get enough caffeine throughout the day? If so you are going to love this bit of news. Scientists and a few recent studies are indicating that drinking five cups of coffee every day may in fact reverse a number of memory problems that coincide with Alzheimer’s disease. While the study was carried out on mice and there isn’t 100 percent certainty, there is quite a lot of hope being put into the research that has recently surfaced.  There have also been some previous studies that proved the protective ability of caffeine, and this study has built upon that and taken the hope to the next level.

Now, slow down. This does not mean that you should start chugging mochas like it is your day job or that dementia patients should instantly get started on caffeine pills. The major difference was that the mice used in the study were bred to develop Alzheimer like symptoms, which could make a big difference when compared to true patients of dementia.

How Did the Results Come About?

Essentially the study was done by taking mice that were experiencing memory loss and giving half of them 500 milligrams of caffeine, as the other half were fed plain drinking water. The mice that were given caffeine for two months showed significant improvement during memory tests while the other mice showed an increase in memory loss. On top of this the mice that were fed caffeine had about half as much beta amyloid protein in their brains. Beta amyloid is the type of protein that causes clumps in the brain that can initially lead to severe memory loss.

What Does This Mean for Dementia Patients

These results are not only exciting because of the link to a decrease in memory loss, but also because caffeine can be used as a safe drug. Unlike many of the other medications for Alzheimer’s on the market, caffeine is very easy on the body and comes with little to no side effects at all. This is exceptional news especially during the current times and our often overmedicated society. Any time we can move from dangerous prescription drugs to a more natural treatment it is good news for all of us. There is still no word on the effectiveness of caffeine supplements, or true results or the effectiveness of caffeine, but this is sure to be the first step in a long and helpful process.

Truth be told, every coffee lover loves to hear good news or potential benefits for coffee. While there are often rumors about possible benefits, and some stories about possible side effects, this could be the biggest news regarding caffeine in quite some time. Stay tuned for now more news, but for now it is definitely safe to say that you just may be getting some added benefit from that coffee that keeps you going throughout your work day.

Enjoy that latte, sip on that mocha, and cheers to lasting memories.

How to Heal, Prevent and Treat a Sunburn; 4 Different Tips for Healing a Sunburn that are Sure to Work

Read Along and Get Rid of That First Sunburn of the Summer

Sunburns happen. It is a part of life, even though we all know that we should cover up, protect our skin, and even stay inside on certain days of the year. Whether it is your unrivaled attraction to the great outdoors, the fact that you love how you look with a tan. or simply that you are too stubborn to use sunscreen, you are bound to get a sunburn at some point this summer. So when you do, here are four separate ways that you can treat, or even prevent, a sunburn and start feeling better, immediately.

1-After Care for Sunburn

If you can’t deal with the pain and find it hard to even move take an anti-inflammatory as soon as you can. This will not only ease the pain but can also negate some of the damage done to your skin. Of course if the burn is so bad that you get blisters or feel nauseous, then you definitely want to see a doctor. If you can deal with it on your own, moisturize your skin as much as possible and try soothing your whole body with a variety of cold compresses.

2-A New Twist on After Care of a Sunburn

Always treat your sunburn with moisturizers and cold compresses as soon as you can. It is always best to avoid the sun for at least a few days and cover up as much as possible, no matter how hot it is outside. A common mistake that many people make is picking and peeling off the dried skin. This can lead to permanent scars and bleeding that you do not have to want to deal with.

3- Prevention and Natural Treatment of a Sunburn

Nutritionists often suggest loading up on Vitamin E and taking some beta carotene supplements before heading out for a long journey in the sun, especially if you are planning a vacation to a sunny paradise. If you still get hit by a sunburn you can look for all natural solutions and rub your skin down with flaxseed, almond, lavender or chamomile oils to give your skin the soothing treatment it is begging for. These products can help prevent scarring and further irritation.

 
4-Beauty Advice for Sunburns

Whether you are dealing with a minor sunburn or are in so much pain that it is impossible to bend over, drink a lot of water. Avoid a hot bath or hot water in general as this can further dry out your skin. A great tip is to soak up in a lukewarm bath with a mixture of baking soda, oatmeal and chamomile tea bags. This can relieve pain and heal the skin as well as give you some much needed comfort and relaxation. If you notice new skin problems or added freckles you can seek out the help of an aesthetician for a microderm-abrasion treatment to exfoliate the skin.

While these are some great methods that you can use to ease the pain and deal with a sunburn, prevention is utterly important. There are long term effects that can come hand in hand with sunburns that often cannot be reversed. So get out there and have fun this summer, but stock up on sunscreen, cover up as much as you can and know when it is time to find that cool spot of shade. Your skin will surely thank you later.
